The Validity of the Internalized Argumentation Skills Test for Chemistry Students

Abstract

This study aims to produce a package of questions measuring internalized argumentation skills (IAS) that meet the requirements of logical validity (content and construct) and empirical validity. The research follows Fenrich’s development model. The implementation of the test package to test the empirical validity involved 30 participants, students of the Chemistry Education Study Program. The research data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the research, a package of IAS measuring questions for chemistry students has been successfully developed. The IAS measuring test package consists of five questions with details of one easy level question, three medium level questions, and one difficult level question. The package of questions developed has met the requirements of logical validity (content and construct) and empirical validity.
